“He ate my food!”

Yesterday, Cheng Yun only slaughtered a duck, and he didn’t expect Liu Wen to come so quickly.
He couldn’t make a new one immediately.
They couldn’t eat the Five-Cup Duck today, but he made some duck necks and smashed cucumbers.
If time allows, he could stir-fry some duck intestines.

When the corn porridge was served, he noticed Liu Wen’s face changed, obviously dissatisfied that he had come all the way to only eat porridge.
However, Cheng Yun pretended not to see it and greeted him as usual.

“I ate too much last night, so I didn’t make a rich lunch.
Let’s have some plain food to fill our stomachs first.
But I also made some dishes to go with the porridge.
You can try them later.” Cheng Yun smiled and said, completely ignoring Liu Wen’s dissatisfaction.

He went to the kitchen and brought out the prepared duck necks and smashed cucumbers.
As soon as he put them on the table, Liu Wen’s expression changed again.

“What’s this?” He hurriedly asked, his eyes following the plate, “This… is duck neck?”

Liu Wen looked at the duck necks in the plate, cut into half the size of a thumb, with a layer of red chili oil on top, and the color was dark and shiny.
A few chili seeds were dotted on top, and the fragrance of spices such as cumin, Sichuan pepper, star anise, and cinnamon wafted over.
Although it was such an inconspicuous ingredient, it unexpectedly made people salivate.

He couldn’t help swallowing his saliva and couldn’t take his eyes off it.
When he saw the smashed cucumbers next to it, it was another surprise.

Cheng Yun handed him a pair of chopsticks and said, “These two dishes are called ‘spicy duck neck’ and ‘smashed cucumbers.’ They are made with ordinary ingredients, but with some new methods.
“Would you like to try and give some feedback?”

As soon as Cheng Yun finished speaking, Liu Wen couldn’t help but reach out to pick up the duck neck dish.

Although there was little meat in the mouth, it was fresh, spicy, and tender.
Each piece was put into the mouth, and the meat was juicy and flavorful.
It was slightly sweet at first, but it became spicier and more fragrant the more you ate.
The lips and tongue were both numb from the spiciness, but he couldn’t stop eating!

Liu Wen was “sahasaha” sucking and chewing while eating, he liked spicy food, but he rarely ate such spicy food.
Although Cheng Yun thought he didn’t make it too spicy, Liu Wen still felt his scalp numb and exclaimed with satisfaction.

“You, how many chili peppers did you put in this duck neck dish? Why is it so spicy and numbing?” Liu Wen said as he poured himself a cup of tea and gulped it down before pouring another one.

Cheng Yun couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction, pushed the smashed cucumber in front of him, and said, “Try this? I added some vinegar to make it refreshing and help with greasiness.”

As soon as Liu Wen heard it, he put down his cup, and the chopsticks that were about to go towards the duck neck dish turned towards the smashed cucumbers obediently.

With a “crunch,” the crisp and refreshing cucumber went into his mouth, and the cool taste, coupled with the sour vinegar, immediately subdued the spiciness of the duck neck.

Liu Wen smacked his lips and couldn’t help but grab another piece, his eyes full of surprise.

“There’s vinegar, chili, garlic, peanuts, and what else…cough cough!” As he spoke, he was choked by the unnoticeable spiciness, and he grabbed a glass from the table and took a few sips, his eyes turning red from the irritation.
He glared at Cheng Yun and said, “You little devil, how much spice did you put in here… cough cough… it’s so spicy it’s killing me.”

Cheng Yun pursed his lips and smiled, shaking his head as he pushed the bowl of corn porridge that had been on the table from the start.

At this point, Liu Wen didn’t care about his previous disdain, for this was probably the least spicy dish.
It was just warm enough, and after catching his breath, he quickly wolfed down several mouthfuls of the porridge.

Unlike the previous two dishes, the porridge was cooked to a soft and smooth texture and paired with sweet corn kernels.
As soon as it entered his mouth, it swept away the spiciness and left a lingering sensation that stimulated his taste buds.
Liu Wen drank down most of it in one gulp, sighed with satisfaction, and was left with only a slight spiciness in his mouth.

Looking at the three dishes in front of him, he couldn’t decide which one he liked best after devouring them all in one go.

At first, he didn’t even want to touch the plain-looking bowl of corn porridge.
Having eaten meat and fish all his life, how could he get used to such a small bowl of porridge? But after the “refining” of the previous two dishes, he turned back to take a look and was surprised to find that the corn porridge was no less impressive than the previous two dishes.

The spicy duck neck was dominant and drew everyone’s attention from the moment it was served, and the smashed cucumber was no less inferior.
In this hot weather, everyone liked to eat something refreshing, but no one had ever thought that a simple cucumber could be made into such a delicacy.

What surprised Liu Wen the most was that these three dishes were all made with the most common and inexpensive ingredients!

Duck necks were not something they could afford to serve at their restaurant, and they were not even used in everyday cooking.
Cucumbers could only be stir-fried in a mediocre way, or served as a side dish on a plate, not to mention corn porridge, which even the rich and powerful did not like to eat.

To be able to make such bland ingredients into such a high-level dish, Liu Wen was suddenly curious about the duck meat that his father had praised so much.

He quickly ran through his thoughts in his head and figured out what Cheng Yun wanted to trade with him.

Only selling one or two recipes to him is not a long-term plan.
What this young man really wants to trade with him is that amazing brain!

This is a talent worth recruiting, and Liu Wen quickly realized this.
However, he was a businessman after all.
Although he really wanted to recruit He Qin under his own command, he remained calm on the surface and put down his chopsticks to have a good chat with Cheng Yun.

Just at this moment, a loud “wife!” came from outside the door, startling Liu Wen, who shook his hand and dropped his chopsticks.

Yang Hongjin returned home with great enthusiasm and as soon as he entered the house, discovered a stranger in the house.
His not-so-useful brain instantly crashed.
He took a big step forward, bypassed Liu Wen, and hugged Cheng Yun tightly in his arms.

Although Yang Hongjin usually looked silly and laughed like a 200-pound big guy, but once when he frowned, his face was quite intimidating.
He stared at Liu Wen without saying a word, and the latter’s heart trembled under his gaze.

Cheng Yun was stunned for a moment, but after regaining her senses, she quickly patted Yang Hongjin’s hand and comforted him, “It’s okay, this is Mr.
Liu, not a bad guy.”

Then she turned her head and smiled apologetically at Liu Wen.
“This is my husband Yang Hongjin, sorry for the trouble.”

“Wife?” Yang Hongjin heard Cheng Yun’s words and looked back and forth between the two people.
Just as he was about to relax, he saw the nearly empty bowl of rice porridge in front of Liu Wen, and he became angry immediately.
“Porridge, he ate the porridge!”

Cheng Yun felt overwhelmed and apologized to Liu Wen again, while pushing and pulling Yang Hongjin back to their room and closing the door, lecturing and coaxing him.

The voices coming from the room were not clear, but Liu Wen quickly figured it out.
He didn’t know much about the village’s affairs and only occasionally heard a few words from Doctor Liu during festival dinners.
He didn’t know that Cheng Yun had married the village’s famous silly big guy.

“It’s a pity.” Liu Wen sighed inwardly as he picked up a piece of cucumber and put it in his mouth.
He looked around the house that he hadn’t paid much attention to since entering, and he seemed to understand why Cheng Yun had come to talk to him about this deal.

Originally, he thought he would have to negotiate with Cheng Yun for a while and tie this person up with a few rules and regulations before he would sell his loyalty.
But now, he didn’t think it was necessary anymore.

From Cheng Yun’s attitude towards Yang Hongjin, one could tell that she was a conscientious person.
Liu Wen believed he had good judgement when it came to people, and he was confident that he could lend a helping hand to Cheng Yun when she needed it, and she would repay him in the future.

He rubbed his hands together and quickly thought about the situation in his mind, then settled down to eat his duck necks.

On the other side, Cheng Yun tried every means to convince Yang Hongjin to accept that Liu Wen was a very important guest.
Finally, after much effort, Yang Hongjin reluctantly agreed.
But when he walked out of the room, he saw that there were only a few pieces of duck neck left, and half of the cucumber was gone.
Even the corn porridge in the pot had been eaten halfway.

Yang Hongjin became angry again.
